Since I baught my Wacom I use the hard tips. So I feel the most response for my lineart. But my old Intious is on the surface like a fine sandpaper.
I ask to change the foil – no answer from Wacom. So I tried it with an aftermarket foil, It's a little bit better but the responsibillity is whorse.
I think ist time to buy a new one, the old one is from 2010.

Re: Albrecht Dürer and my passion for woodcut art
I agree hard tips are good for fine detail
Just recently I have made a concious descision to bite the bullet and pencil a lot more digitally - this means a very soft and gentle response from the pen in order to build up the lines [see my current avatar] and a felt tip has the tooth/drag/inertia call it what you will, that facilitates this
but that aside hard tips have always been too 'fast' for me, even for inking
looks like this one is nearly done :D

You're doing the work of a monk, Ernie. I'm impressed!
Re: Albrecht Dürer and my passion for woodcut art
Yaeh Boy, this is not that of Art how it looks, it's hard work.
In the tradition of the monks who brewed beer in their monasteries – I prefer to drink it.
Re: Albrecht Dürer and my passion for woodcut art
I have heard of art being produced for it's own sake, but beer needs drinking :D
